Courses Plus Student 4,238 Pointsunable to link style sheet even after providing perfect path
I have created my own style and HTML sheet for practise based on my fav.show:HIMYM; I am unable to link my style sheet with HTML. Path is perfect. My link statement: <link href=“CSS/style.css” rel=“stylesheet”>
my style sheet: html{ background:#483D8B; }
body{ margin: 0 auto; max-width: 800px; }
img { width: 100%; }
.barney { display:block; margin: 300px 0 100px 0; padding: 0; }
.lilly { display:block; margin: 250 px 0 50px 0; padding: 0; }
a { background: transparent; border: 0; display: block; float: left; margin: 0; outline: 0; padding: 0; width: 33%; }
To add on I'am not able to see even my images
Kindly take time to answer!
Thanks

Courses Plus Student 8,446 Pointson line 7 you had your href and link ref reversed. change it to this:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="CSS/style.css">
as far as your pictures go, i just redid the line and got them to populate :
<img src="pics/bs.png" class="barney" alt="bs">
<img src="pics/lilly.png" class="lilly" alt="lilly">
all seems to be working with these changes

Courses Plus Student 8,446 Pointsmake sure to double check your case sensitivity. I see you have CSS/style.css in CAPS. make sure the folder path is named exactly as the folder. relative paths are case sensitive!
Venkatesh K
Courses Plus Student 4,238 Points"Check" The folder name is in CAPS! still unable to do it

Courses Plus Student 8,446 PointsI am using Komodo Edit on a Mac ..(its free)
try to avoid Text Based Editors unless they do syntax highlighting. or a designed for coding. they can introduce hidden things that cause problems.
